“…Scholars have suggested that religions have helped to shape values (Engelland, 2014; Lindridge, 2005; Minton et al, 2015) and legal traditions (Barzilai, 2007; Idleman, 1993; Zartner, 2012). With regard to business, we will be discussing CSR in section 2.2, but other suggested influences revolve around entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial intention (Audretsch et al, 2013; Henley, 2017; Rietveld & Van Burg, 2014; Sousa et al, 2020) and consumer behavior (Abela, 2014; Cleveland et al, 2013; Jamal & Sharifuddin, 2015; Lindridge, 2005).…”

“…Previous literature has evidenced that religion affects entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial intention (e.g., Audretsch et al, 2013; Henley, 2017; Rietveld & Van Burg, 2014; Sousa et al, 2020). For example, it may affect individuals’ perceived duty to add value to society through their entrepreneurial activity (Rietveld & Van Burg, 2014) and their pro-social motivation (Sousa et al, 2020).…”

The growing interest in the impact that organizations have on society has made Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) a matter of extraordinary relevance. Religions are among the factors that may drive the adoption of more CSR practices and, as such, may play a significant role in their promotion. The aim here is to discover whether religions contribute to the development of a broader range of CSR initiatives on the basis of Stakeholder, and Legitimacy theories. We studied the impact of different religions on an index made up of 122 CSR practices that include social and environmental issues. We tested the hypothesis proposed through panel data models for a sample composed of 13,884 firm-year observations from 30 countries. Our findings suggest that certain religions, such as Christianity, Judaism, and Buddhism, have a positive influence on the adoption of CSR practices. Companies operating in countries with a high percentage of adherents to these religions are more prone to undertake CSR activities. However, Islam, Hinduism, and Folk religions record an inverse trend that evidences a negative link. JEL codes: M14, M16

“…Therefore, the factors may vary in different settings. When it comes to entrepreneurship intentions, the theory of planned behavior (TPB) has been widely used by the researchers (Alam et al , 2019; Gelderen et al , 2008; Gird and Bagraim, 2008; Kautonen et al , 2013; Krueger and Carsrud, 1993; Malebana, 2014; Pejic Bach et al , 2018; Roy et al , 2017; Sommer, 2011; Sousa et al , 2020; Valencia-Arias and Restrepo, 2020). However, it has been found that the studies, which have exclusively used TPB to predict entrepreneurship intention (EI) explain a small proportion of the variance (Liñán and Chen, 2009; Gelderen et al , 2008) usually 30%–45%.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to identify factors instrumental in developing entrepreneurial intentions among youth. Although, numerous studies have been conducted focusing on entrepreneurship intention, however, this study attempts to provide an integrated model by means of analyzing the impact of internal (personal) and external (environmental) factors in developing entrepreneurial intentions. Design/methodology/approach This cross-sectional study is based on primary and secondary data. A sample of 358 respondents belonging to the age group of 21–25 years from various universities and colleges in Kashmir participated in the study. Primary data collection was done using self-administered questionnaires. A purposive sampling approach was used to identify respondents for the current study. Structural equation modeling has been used for testing hypotheses besides other statistical methods and techniques. Findings The study identifies three important antecedents of entrepreneurship intentions, namely, personal competencies, contextual factors and entrepreneurial exposure and tests the relationships using path analysis. It further suggests that there exists a significant relationship between personal competencies, entrepreneurial exposure, contextual elements and entrepreneurial intention. Originality/value The paper presents an integrated and comprehensive model of entrepreneurial intentions discussing important antecedents instrumental in developing entrepreneurship intentions among youth considering both personal and environmental factors. It is, therefore, an important contribution toward entrepreneurship literature and of interest to different policymakers and institutions related to entrepreneurship.

Do sagrado ao profano: aproximações entre a teologia cristã e a administração

Resumo Este ensaio teórico procurou realizar uma aproximação entre a administração e a teologia cristã. Para tanto, a partir, principalmente, das ideias de Agamben (2008), procurou-se estabelecer relações entre aspectos relativos à teologia cristã e sua ordem trinitária com as características de organizações burocráticas e flexíveis, no intuito de desvelar a sacralidade e a deidade presente nessas organizações, a despeito da ideia de secularização e racionalidade, no sentido weberiano, impetrada às mesmas. A partir dessas relações e da observação de um novo tipo de sacralização nessas organizações que, sem romper com o ideário divino, tornam sagrado o poder econômico, o dinheiro, a técnica e a lógica formal sobre tudo o mais, advoga-se pela profanação do sagrado. Entende-se que essa saída pode se dar por meio das reflexões acerca da inoperosidade e sua relação com a política e a estética, que remetem a uma nova possibilidade de uso do prazer, do desejo e do corpo.
